iPhone X tidbits: Lock screen shortcuts, Dock, Control Center more
iPhone X is launching on November 3 and while we’ve written a lot about it there are still many things we don’t know yet about its user experience, especially when it comes to the Lock/Home screen.
9to5Mac uncovered a few interesting iPhone X tidbits from Xcode 9.1 beta which was released yesterday. The new Xcode includes a more fully-fledged iPhone X Simulator that demonstrates the new Lock screen and Home screen experiences.
Home screen
- The iPhone X Dock is limited to four apps, the same as standard iPhones, and sports an iPad-like design that follows the rounded corners of the physical screen.
- The persistent thin bar at the bottom of the screen gently animates up and down, hinting at the new way of unlocking the handset.
Like with standard iPhones, the Dock is limited to a total of four apps.
Lock screen
- The “Press to open” text on the Lock screen has become ”Swipe to open.”
- You get two quick shortcuts on the Lock screen at the bottom left and right side, Flashlight and Camera, that can be pressed with 3D Touch to activate.
The Control Center indicator in the top right corner.
Control Center
- The icon in the top-right corner of the display has a pull-down indicator to tell you the iPhone X Control Center is invoked by pulling down on the right side of the status bar.
- When invoked, the Control Center interface relocates the carrier and battery percentage icons from the notch to the area just below the notch.
While the new Xcode simulator is currently in beta and still a bit rough around the edges, it does give us a better idea what iOS 11 will look like on the edge-to-edge rounded screen of iPhone X.
The iPhone X Lock screen has 3D Touch-enabled shortcuts for Flashlight and Camera.
We’ll be sure to keep you in the loop with additional information about iPhone X as we’re inching closer to the November launch. What do you think about the redesigned Lock screen and Home screen experiences on iPhone X?
